The Enterprise Programme
The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Programme
supports unemployed young people aged 18-30 to work out if their
business ideas are viable and whether self-employment is right for
them.
Watch the video and find out more below.
Depending on the outcome of this process, the
programme can then offer mentoring support and, for those that
really need it, financial support to start a business or mentoring
support to secure goals in employment, education or training.
